Review of The Three Musketeers (1948) by Mike L — 29 Aug 2012
Of all versions of this movie this is my second favorite, my favorite is the 70's version. While the overall quality of the cast is much greater in this one it is missing one key component, Rachel Welch.
June Allyson is a very attractive woman but she is not the stuff dreams are made of and as such this movie dips in regards of pure lust. The cast of Kelly, Turner, Price, Heflin, Lansbury are stellar, in fact Price is the penultimate Richelieu and wipes the floor over Hestons take.
As a period piece the costumes and sets are fun and colorful, which is what films of this time were like, unlike present day versions which equate drab with realistic. It's a great timeless story and this is a very good version, done very well in all phases of film.
